Luo Jian's words made the scene relaxed, and Liu Zhaoji and the others also showed smiles on their faces, and they surrounded Luo Jian one after another.

Gao Qiqian shook his head behind him, he couldn't figure out how Luo Jian had enveloped these arrogant generals, it seemed that he had to put a lot of thought into pulling these generals over.

Luo Jian walked to Gao Qiqian's side, took the holy decree written by Ruan Dacheng from behind Zhao Cheng, handed it to Gao Qiqian, and said coldly: "You will be your supervisor in the future, if you have other thoughts, I advise you to put it away as soon as possible, otherwise don't blame me for not giving face!" ”

As soon as he saw Gao Qiqian, Luo Jian thought of Lu Xiangsheng's death, and wanted to shoot him directly, and then thought about his identity, and finally suppressed this thought.

Gao Qiqian took the holy decree and opened it to see that his financial power was taken back by the emperor, and his face immediately became gray, and he really wanted to go back to Nanjing directly, but when he thought of the glory of the past, he felt very unwilling, and secretly gritted his teeth and endured it.

"As the overseer of the imperial court, our family will do what we should do, please don't worry about it." Gao Qiqian looked at Luo Jian and said weakly.

Luo Jian ignored him, turned to Huang Degong and asked, "How are the preparations for the celebration meeting?" ”

"Governor, isn't there a few days left? We are preparing according to your requirements, and you will not miss anything, so you can rest assured. Huang Degong said.

"You must not underestimate this matter, if you do a good job in evaluating merit and awards, it will play a great role in boosting morale and enhancing the pride and honor of soldiers, and you must not be hasty." Luo Jian said emphatically.

Since the Yangzhou Army gave up using the first level to calculate meritorious service, it has begun to try the practice of appraising merit and awarding merit in the troops, and judging from the previous pilot situation of the first and second divisions, the results are still relatively good.

"Brother Xian, there are still some things that haven't been discussed last time, why don't you all be here today, and now discuss the results?" Luo Jian turned to Shi Kefa and said, what he said was the compensation and arrangement for the casualties.

"Okay, I don't think I need to have any special meetings, I will go directly to your house to discuss, and I will eat you when I turn around, your Liulan has made a lot of money recently, how about everyone go to eat big households?" Shi Kefa saw that Luo Jian let go of Huang Degong and the others, and his mood became good, and he made a joke.

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've had a few drinks, and everyone has to get drunk today." Li Chengdong said coaxing beside him.

"Brother Shi, what did you say? It's okay to drink, Master Li, I can tell you, your kid has been a little unconcerned about his studies lately, you have to go back and take care of him. Liu Lan was a little embarrassed and changed the topic towards Li Chengdong.

"And this? This kid doesn't listen to me much now, and I don't care about the rest, but if this kid doesn't study well, I'll go back and beat him to death. Li Chengdong was also anxious when he heard it.

"What a beating? Did the child type it? He just wants to enlist in the army now, it's not that he doesn't want to study, you just have to explain the reason to him clearly, don't beat the child! Liu Lan said with a smile.

Everyone was talking and laughing as they walked towards the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and Gao Qiqian actually followed.

When he arrived at the house, Luo Jian washed briefly and then returned to the hall and sat down, seeing that Shi Kefa had already called Yi Bangcai and He Gang over, and a few staff officers from the headquarters had also come.

After discussion, it was unanimously decided that each family of the deceased soldier should receive a pension of 50 taels of silver, and the wounded soldiers would range from 30 taels to 10 taels depending on the severity of their injuries.

Luo Jian felt that the pension was a little low, but he also felt helpless, Yangzhou's current finances are not allowed to produce more, and he feels that these fifty taels are too much.

After the staff officer reported the specific situation, Luo Jian added the fifty taels to eighty taels, because many of the sacrificed soldiers had no one at home, and some of their families were still in the area occupied by the Qing soldiers, and there was nowhere to send the silver.

After lunch, all the generals went back to arrange specific things, Luo Jian asked Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang to call back, he was still entangled in the things he was thinking about in the morning, and wanted them to come over and listen to their opinions.

Shi Kefa had a vague understanding of Luo Jian's thoughts, and when he saw him calling Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang back, he guessed some of his intentions.

"Xinghua, what do you want to discuss, can you let me listen to it too?" Shi Kefa was a little embarrassed to say this, and he didn't say it after brewing for a long time.

"Brother Xian, to be honest, I have a pimple in my heart about how to go in the future, I want to hear the opinions of the two of them, if Brother Xian also wants to hear it, it doesn't hurt to ask Brother Xian to stay." Luo Jian felt that this matter still couldn't bypass Shi Kefa, and if he could get his understanding and support, he would be able to win more people's hearts.

During the waiting time, Luo Jian told Shi Kefa in detail about his trip to Nanjing, and Shi Kefa was silent when he heard it.

"Brother Xian, to put it mildly, since we came to Yangzhou, we didn't think about protecting the small court in Nanjing, about some political systems in another time and space, Brother Xian has read some books, I'm afraid I also have some understanding, in the end what kind of road we want to take, I don't have a bottom in my heart, I want to call Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang back, let's talk about it first, see if we can find a way that suits the present." Luo Jian looked at Shi Kefa and said sincerely.

"Xinghua, I understand your thoughts, you have also told me before, the most important thing at the moment is to drive the Tartars out of China, can these things be left for later?" Shi Kefa also said very seriously.

"Brother Ken, I was going to put this into thinking about it later, but what happened this time made me feel a little scared. If the army were not for the sake of the country and the nation, and participated in some struggles for power and profit, I am afraid that it would not be the luck of the country and the nation! I was afraid that I would go wrong in the first place, so I remembered to plan my future path. ”

"Xinghua, don't be angry if I say something, I think you are a person who wants to do all the things of several generations and more generations, and wants to do all the things for a hundred years, two hundred years or even longer, can you afford it on one shoulder? They all say that you are from heaven, and you will not really live forever, will you? How do you think you're on the right path? Meals should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be taken step by step, so that we can be worthy of future generations, what do you think? ”

Hearing Shi Kefa's words, Luo Jian was silent for a long time.

"Brother Luo, don't think about it so much, I think the current situation in Yangzhou is still early, can't we just guard this bit of territory? I think what you have to think about is how to attack the areas occupied by the Qing army, so that you can form an influence throughout the country, instead of closing the door and calculating what path to take at home. Brother Shi, what do you think? Liu Lan was a little dissatisfied with Luo Jian's thinking too far, this just starting Yangzhou, where was it considered so far?

"Well, I think what Liu Lan said makes sense, don't think about it so much, when we come to the intersection in the future, let's choose what way to go." Shi Kefa said with a smile.

"Brother Xian, I also think about this problem on the road, I think we must take Huai'an down, Huai'an has a complete shipyard, we must have our own shipyard." Luo Jian let go of his mind and said to Shi Kefa.

"Okay, then you have to plan how to march in the direction of Huai'an as soon as possible, and put aside the rest in advance." Shi Kefa was very happy to hear Luo Jian say this.

While the three of them were talking, Wang Qiang came back first.

"Chief, Inspector, what's the matter with me coming back? I'm taking them to train on the shooting of the Minnie gun, and I've noticed a lot of problems. ”

"Oh, what's the problem?" Luo Jian hurriedly asked.

"Now these Mini guns are not only inaccurate, but also the quality is also very problematic, some of them are almost worn out after a few shots, and some are very difficult to fire with flint, sometimes they can't be fired after a dozen shots."

"When Xiao Liu comes back, we'll discuss how to solve this problem." Hearing what Wang Qiang said, Luo Jian was also very anxious.

said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Xiao Liu was mentioned, Xiao Liu came in humming a little song.

"Ah, chief, overseer, you are all here, I have some good news for you!" Liu Weimin looked very excited.

"Hurry up, don't sell Guanzi." Liu Lan was anxious and hurriedly asked.

"One... The first good news is about agricultural production..."Seeing that Liu Lan was in a hurry, Xiao Liu spoke more slowly, Liu Lan grabbed the feather duster on the table and hit Xiao Liu on the head, and several people laughed.

"Chief, Supervisor, we have made phosphate fertilizer and are preparing to build a phosphate fertilizer plant, which is the first good news." Xiao Liu said slowly.

"The problem of miniaturization of seamless steel pipes has been basically solved, which is the second good news, but this is solved by my eldest brother Chen Zilong and Chen Mao, admire him!." Hearing Xiao Liu say this, Luo Jian was so excited that he stood up suddenly.

"Really?" This problem has been solved, and what Wang Qiang said just now is no longer a problem.

"Is there any good news? Don't you have several? How are there only two? Liu Lan was still not satisfied, and continued to ask.

"And, of course, give me a drink, I'm thirsty." Xiao Liu continued to joke with Liu Lan.

Liu Lan hurriedly brought a glass of water to Xiao Liu.

"I've made some alloy steel, Gao Menggang has succeeded, and our army will gradually replace it with treasure knives in the future, this is good news, right? However, it will take some time for Cannon Steel to start researching. ”

Although the hardness of high meng steel is sufficient, its melting point is low, and it will become soft if it exceeds 200 degrees.

"Also, with the help of Mr. Song, we have made more than a dozen machine tools, and the production of firearms is more convenient." The more Xiao Liu spoke, the more excited he became.

When Luo Jian heard this, why did Mr. Song go to Guazhou? Isn't the old gentleman preparing to build a school?

"Some time ago, Yangzhou called on craftsmen to go to Guazhou to serve, and the old gentleman said that he was also an old craftsman, so he went to Guazhou, and he didn't want to come back. Liu Lan explained beside her.

"Mr. Song is now working hard with the steam engine, so I mentioned it to him, but he had to get it out, this has already begun to be done, and he has been looking for me for silver all day long, reporter Liuda, can you support a little? I don't have much. ”

Xiao Liu pretended to be pitiful, and Luo Jian was very funny.

"Well, it's easy to say, how much do you want to say yes." Liu Lan was not stingy at all on these issues, and said generously.

"The last good news, but the greatest good news, but it's too much money." Xiao Liu said with a frown.
